India vows to eliminate terrorism under Modi's leadership

On May 7, 2025, the Indian Armed Forces conducted Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This operation was a significant escalation against Pakistan-based terror activities, reaffirming India's commitment to combating terrorism. In response, heavy shelling from the Pakistani Army occurred along the Line of Control (LoC), resulting in civilian casualties and injuries, particularly in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir. Reports indicate that 13 civilians lost their lives, while 59 were injured due to continuous ceasefire violations following Operation Sindoor. The situation has caused residents in border villages, such as Rajouri, to evacuate due to fears for their safety. Many families have returned to find significant damage to their homes and properties as a result of the intense shelling. Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan addressed a gathering in New Delhi, emphasizing that India has resolved to uproot terrorism under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, referring to the actions taken as a correction of past mistakes in dealing with terrorism. He stated that while India does not provoke others, it will not spare those who trouble it. The conflict remains tense as military and civilian responses unfold in the region, highlighting the ongoing challenges of achieving peace and security in Jammu and Kashmir. This situation is part of a broader narrative of India’s efforts to address terrorism and national security and reflects the heightened vigilant stance under the current government.
